EastEnders spoilers: Avani's baby decision, Suki feels Ravi's fury and Lily returns
It's set to be another dramatic week in EastEnders next week, with trouble for many residents across the Square. There's a return for one character, while another is set to be the target of Ravi and Priya's fury - and we all know no one wants to be in that situation. Elsewhere, teen Joel Marshall is up to more bad behaviour.
Avani Nandra-Hart's pregnancy has been the forefront of the soap for the last couple of weeks, with fans furious at how her grandmother Suki has handled things. We know Avani wanted a termination, but her grandmother managed to convince her to have the baby - and allow her to raise it.
However, Suki's partner Eve was dumbfounded by the idea, and now, she's going behind her wife's back as things are set to backfire on Suki. It comes after reports of all the celebrities rumoured to be joining BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2025.
As Avani and Eve have another heart-to-heart about her pregnancy next week, Eve agrees to support her choice to have a termination. Suki is suspicious when Avani and Eve make excuses to go off together, unaware they intend to go to a clinic.
Finally seeing sense - Stacey convinces Suki to tell Ravi and Priya - and later she's the target of Priya and Ravi's fury as the consequences of Avani's termination is felt throughout the family.
Elsewhere, another teen is in trouble as Lily Slater returns to the Square after staying with her dad Ryan after Martin's death. However, Stacey's happiness is short lived when Freddie reveals that someone has leaked her SecretCam pictures and videos online.
Convinced that Joel is the culprit, Stacey storms over to confront him and later reports him to the police. But is Joel to blame? It's the least of Joel's troubles, though, as he finally finds out about Avani's termination and starts berating her after trying to provoke her father, Ravi.
It's a tough week for Ravi - as he has problems elsewhere when Harry discovers he's using Kojo's flat along with Okie for their illegal activities.
There's trouble in store for Kojo also, as he's befriended by Okie. Suspicious, Elaine agrees to help George out to see what's going on.
However, trouble awaits when she goes to see Kojo at The Arches, as she's thrown to the ground by a group of threatening lads. But when Okie scares the gang off - Kojo trusts him with the keys to his flat...
Later, Elaine and Cindy both discover that Nicola's the new woman in George's life - but will it bring them closer together?
Elsewhere, Patrick returns home from hospital after his attack from Oscar - but is struggling with anxiety following the aftermath. Will this affect the wedding plans?

Celebs SAS stars 'to get full fee despite quitting Channel 4 show early'
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins stars will reportedly still get their full fee even if they quit, and three of the contestants are said to have raked in thousands for just minutes on screen Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins stars will reportedly still get their full fee even if they quit the show early. The Channel 4 military-style reality series returned to screens last week with the likes of X Factor legend Lucy Spraggan, footballer Troy Deeney and former drugs mule Michaella McCollum amongst a host of others being put through their paces by the show's tough directors. However, viewers watched as pop star Hannah Spearritt quit the show just minutes into the first episode, and dancer Louie Spencer later realised he could not hack it either so decided to remove his armband and walk off. In episode two, Love Island stars Tasha Ghouri and Chloe Burrows quit on the spot as well. Insiders have claimed that some of the stars are being paid up to £20,000 as an appearance fee and insisted that they will still receive payment in full, no matter what stage of the competition they actually reach. A source told The Sun: "Hannah Spearitt, Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri will all have been paid over £10k - some as much as £20k - but unlike other reality shows, they do get paid if they pull out. So even though Hannah only lasted one minute, she'll still get paid over £10k for that minute." It comes after reports of all the celebrities rumoured to be joining BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2025. The source added that even though it can be 'embarrassing' for celebrities to quit so early, it is "well worth stars signing up even if they don't think they can complete the show just for the payday - it might be embarrassing taking their armband off early in the show, but it's good money!' Hannah who shot to fame as part of S Club 7 before going on to an acting career with roles in shows such as Primeval and EastEnders, was seen struggling. She was sitting on the way to a mission when she told her fellow recruits that she was 'feeling faint'. And just moments later, it was confirmed that the Reach singer had become the first to leave the course as her co-stars speculated that she had suffered a panic attack. However, in a confessional aired seconds beforehand, Hannah, who last year refused to join her bandmates for their reunion tour, had seemed confident in herself as she said: "I am pretty determined. I wouldn't say I give up easily but whether I get to the end or not...I don't think I'll go on the first day because I just wouldn't forgive myself." She went onto tell instructors: "Sorry - I'm done. Sorry. I've reached a point." And she wasn't the only star to fall at the first hurdle, as Pineapple Dance Studios star Louie also dramatically left the show as the tough scenes unfolded. He initially told the cameras as part of his own confessional segment: "If there was a world war and they decided they were gonna call everyone up, would I be the first to jump up and say 'Yes me?' Being surrounded my thousands of soldiers, I might just jump at it. I'd be the home guard like on Dad's Army. We'll have a gay Dad's Army. Honestly, they wouldn't wanna mess with the gays!" But, despite his confidence, just moments later, Chris Fox described the group's effort as "abysmal" after the latest task. He reminded the recruits to think about why they were there and suggested they take things "seriously". Louie piped up: "I wanna do an immediate withdrawal. I just don't have the conviction and I feel as though I'm not dedicated enough," he said as he removed his armband. Chris gave him the chance to put his arm band back on, but Louie refused, so Chris said: "Get your kit." In a previously-filmed confessional, Louie, 56, had said: "I'm a survivor, I would keep battling to survive. I think the worst way for me to leave the course would be to choose to leave. That would really p*** me off," but just seconds later, it was confirmed that he had indeed quit the show." And following their exits, Chloe took to Instagram to rant about why she had quit as she said: ""I was f*****g exhausted and wanted my own bed and a cuddle from my mum. Forgive a girl for being so naive, but jumping at opportunities I'd never thought possible," whilst Tasha is yet to address her exit.

The show, created by Simon Cowell, has produced some of the biggest names in music, but while the majority of the contestants celebrate their experience, others have hit out at it. In recent years, the programme has come under fire, with some former stars claiming that there was a lack of care – an allegation which has been strongly denied by the production team. After 2011, the programme began to see a decline in viewing figures before it was announced in July 2021 that it would no longer air. Over the course of its tenure on TV, the show produced winners including the likes of Leona Lewis, Rak-Su, Little Mix, Ben Haenow, Louisa Johnson and Matt Cardle. Meanwhile, other successful artists such as One Direction, Olly Murs, Fleur East, Stacey Solomon and Rebecca Ferguson have gone on to have successful careers, despite not winning. It comes after reports of all the celebrities rumoured to be joining BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2025. But Olly, who has been fiercely loyal to the programme, has now opened up about the legacy and how important it has been in the music industry. "I think there's no doubt we can all sit here and say that the X Factor was huge," he commented. Speaking to BBC Radio Lancashire ahead of his headline slot, turning on the Blackpool Illuminations on August 29, he continued: "It's hugely successful for creating such stars, from the One Direction boys, to Harry Styles, Niall has obviously done things, Louis, I mean, all the boys from that band came out and did great stuff. "You know, me, James Arthur, Little Mix, Lucy Spraggan – there's some real, I mean, the list goes on and on, to be honest. Alexandra Burke! There have been endless people who have come. Stacey Solomon, of course, even though she's not doing music, she's doing so well herself." Olly went on to say: "There's just so many over the years that have just had such big careers. That's the thing. That's what the show was built on, bringing young people off the street or young people an opportunity and a chance to change their lives forever. We took it and embraced it and look where we are now." Speaking about turning on the iconic Blackpool Illuminations, Olly told the press: "Very honoured to be asked, over the years so many iconic artists have done it so it's going to be a cool night and I'm very excited to do it." Reflecting on being asked, Olly revealed: "Surprised but happy and I've no doubt will be a super day, plus all the tickets are free for the event." But what will the cheeky Essex chap be performing on the night? He explained: "Yeah, I'll be performing a full set with all the hits, and yes, I'll be playing new music which is exciting for me! Looking forward to the fans getting to hear it." "Dance With Me Tonight," he revealed would be his one song to sum up the experience of Blackpool, as he explained: "Blackpool is a place for the families to have fun and enjoy the festivities all year round. From young kids to grandmas, this song gets everyone moving! I look forward to seeing everyone dance to it."

Aside from top runners Nick and Saskia, Judith is third favourite to win with odds of 4/1 (20%), with taxi driver Darren right at the bottom of the odds at 10/1 (9.1%), however, it doesn't mean the end of the road just yet.
